Cross-platform Applications Development
Need for the Course
In recent years, rather than hiring different coders, software engineers or designers, organizations
favour experts who can perform multiple tasks. If an IT professional knows both back-end and
front-end development skills, there is a greater chance of getting a job in the software
development industry.
A Full Stack Developer will be software engineers that design and build mobile applications, web
infrastructure and web sites. They will build, test, troubleshoot, operate and optimize various tiers
of a software solution from frontend, to backend, to the database and notwithstanding
troubleshooting and testing. They are always able to switch between frontend and backend
development based on the requirement of the project.
